Police in Peel Region are urging the public to not accept any unsolicited offers of transportation from those unknown to them following three recent sexual assaults involving a suspect purporting to be a rideshare driver.
Peel Regional Police said a 21-year-old woman was waiting at a bus stop at Airport Road and Humberwest Parkway at around 6:45 a.m. when an unknown male offered her a ride, which she accepted.
